Manicure

We offer a variety of manicures, so no matter how much time you have free, theres no reason not to have your nails looking their best!

All treatments are available in multiple finishes, including OPI nail lacquer, OPI Gelcolor, Calgel and Minx foils. We also have OPI retail products available for purchase, from hand creams to nail varnishes and cuticle oils to strengtheners.

To start with your hands are bathed in an exfoliator and soaked to ensure all dead skin cells have been removed. Once the hands have been dried off, we start by filing your nails into the perfect shape and use a specially designed tool to push back the cuticles and then trim the excess. Your hands and arms will then be pampered with a relaxing massage that will also moisturise the skin, leaving it feeling silky soft and smooth. To top it all off we will then dress your nails in your choice of OPI nail lacquer finish or gel polish from our OPI Gelcolor or Calgel range.

Our luxury manicure extends the standard manicure by 15 minutes and incorporates luxury heated mittens, that will hydrate and soften the hands. As with the standard manicure, we will then dress your nails in your choice of OPI nail lacquer finish or gel polish from our OPI Gelcolor or Calgel range.

OPI is recognised as a leader in the Professional Beauty Industy and the number one brand used by professionals. Today, OPI produces a full range of hand and nail care products. Their lotions and our treatments create and maintain a healthy clean canvas, while acrylics, gels and colours are the pallet to create looks that are the desire of any fashionable woman.

All of our manicures utilise the Avoplex system by OPI. The OPI Avoplex product range is formulated with OPI’s advanced avocado lipid complex, which is a combination of deep penetrating skin loving antioxidant, phospholipids (the biological building block of skin), vitamins A, B1, B2, D and E, essential fatty acids and avocado oil, which closely resembles the skins own natural oils.

OPI Gelcolor is perfect for your natural nails. It goes on like a polish, cures in 30 seconds and lasts for weeks. With Gelcolor you are sure to fall in love with your nails again and you won’t have to worry about damaging them.

OPI Gelcolor does not damage your own nails and therefore we recommend this product for application to your own nails

Calgel is a gel nail system that is designed to promote nail health. Calgel doesn’t lift, peel, chip or damage your own nails with harsh acrylics, bonding solutions and excess buffing and doesn’t interfere with nail-bed metabolism which is why it can actually strengthen your own nails! The Calgel system is designed to last in excess of 14 days.

Calgel is a thicker gel than both the OPI Gelcolor and Shellac products and therefore works really well when applied to nail extensions as it provides great protection and allows for the tips to be blended in.

Please note that Calgel is only available at our Norton Lees salon.

Minx is one of the latest trends in nail art. Minx is a film with an adhesive backing that is heated up and applied to the natural curves of your nail. Minx lasts for weeks and gives a wow factor to your nails. Minx is recommended for people that want to be noticed!
